ARRESTING CREATIVE



Saw this ad in the Evening Standard last night and it really made me stop and look.

Initial thought – Why would the Metropolitan Police run an ad like that?

What a waste of a whole page – Met Police logo and strap line across the bottom and then very subtle light grey flock wallpaper effect across the rest of the page?

A quizzical look and a slight turn of the page and all was revealed – with a message appearing on the page through the wallpaper effect – as per ad printed on the reverse side



Clever in so many ways.... One of the best press ads I've seen in years.
